Sharknado 2 Set To Bite On July 31st

Syfy have announced a Thursday July 31st premiere date for “Sharknado 2: The Second One”. The follow-up comes a little over a year after the original film aired.

Ian Ziering and Tara Reid reprise their roles as Fin and April in the follow-up in which a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a “sharknado” on the city’s population and its most iconic sites.

Perez Hilton, Robert Klein, Biz Markie, Pepa from Salt-N-Pepa, and wrestler/Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle have all joined the cast of the telemovie which includes the already announced Vivica A. Fox, Mark McGrath, Kelly Osbourne, Judd Hirsch, Andy Dick and Judah Friedlander.

Anthony C. Ferrante will return to direct the sequel from a screenplay by Thunder Levin. Production is now underway.
